The Adani and Reliance Group are each planning to invest Rs 500-600 crore and set up compressed biogas (CBG) plants, a media report said on Wednesday.
According to The Economic Times, GautamAdani-led Adani New Industries (ANIL) is planning to set up 40-million tonne per annum (mtpa) plants in Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, while Reliance Industries is still formalising the two locations.
Produced by anaerobic decomposition of agricultural waste, sugarcane press mud, and municipal waste, compressed biogas can be used as a replacement for piped natural gas for domestic usage.
